I have tokico blue myself with neuspeed race springs, when i first bought it, it was good, but now for bout 3 years...seems like the shocks are out on me. I think non adjustable shocks are just made for oem springs. since im not a budget i think kyb agx would be my best bet. Don't get me wrong though, tokico blue are better then stock but still i think its not all that great. I think adjustable would even be better.

I did some research and came across my tokico suspension set for 350. shocks, struts and springs included. Its been on my car for a year and a half and they handle way better than stock at 1.5 inches lower. The ride is firm but never harsh.

A bad suspension combo will either leave you bouncing, or shaking your fillings loose. For which ever you decide to get, good luck.

Cheers

Tokico Blue = Short term suspension resolution.

They dont last long.

I had them on my former car, a 93 Integra w/ Eibach Sportlinne and the RIDE WAS HARSH as hell. Had to get rid of them in less then a month because the ride was so harsh, couldn't stand it.

Tokico Blues are fine as long as you aren't running high spring rates. They are good shocks, just not made for really stiff springs.

i went to an import junkyard and the guy told me about some Skunk2 coilovers with Tokico blues he had in the back with one of the Blue's slightly bent and he sold em to me for $200 so right now i'm lowered probably 2.3" and the ride is fine. i'm about to raise it .3" in a couple days

i think there only under warranty if your car isnt too low. For example, if your car is 2.5 in dropped, i dont think itll be under warranty.
